NPPA is a 501c(6) non-profit professional organization with 10,000 members. It is governed by the 6-person Executive Committee of its Board of Directors. Board members are elected regionally. The Executive Committee meets every month, and the full Board meets once a year.
Members who do not wish to stand for office can contribute to the NPPA by serving on committees formed to address specific issues such as Business Practices or Finance. Office operations are conducted in Durham, North Carolina by a staff working the equivalent of 5 full-time positions. Each year, the NPPA publishes an audited annual report of its finances.
There are three documents which define the governance of the NPPA:
On an individual level, all our members suscribe to the NPPA Code of Ethics, which appears in § XVIII.B of the Bylaws.
The Bylaws, Rules, and Procedures were last revised at the annual board meeting in June 2005.
